Hey, a new glove thread here...............got my heart racing!
Thanks for the feedback. I like the idea of the Mizuno (looks like a steal), but I want her to be able try some on before pulling the trigger. Hopefully I can find a local store that has one to try on. Anyone have opinion with the Nokona brand?
@Eric F Stab me in the gut!! I'm a huge fan of nokona, DD#1 has an amazing custom FP catchers mitt. Before that she used an off the shelf Nokona X2. I have the X2 utility 12", my 7yo son has the Nokona S100?? But I can see how it doesn't gel with some.
Regarding Nokona, the fielders gloves can be found light-ish... Eric is right, they take a long time to break in and are sturdy. I'm a sucker for made in the usa and the longevity of the gloves. I recently sent in a glove to the factory, theu completely refurbished it with new felt, structure, thumb and pinky loops, new palm lining, etc. Just came back perfect. I now am using it as my catchers glove and couldn't be happier
Might be pretty tough finding a 12” Global Elite in a store since they’ve been discontinued for a while now, take some luck!Thanks for the feedback.
